Our collaborators
Our community initiatives such as the Food Forest and Nursery, Reeds and Roots, Northeast Ohio Earth Restoration, and Transition Chagrin Valley, work together and with community organizations like the Chagrin Valley Learning Collective, Lake Erie Institute, the GLESS network and others to support our core aims and values of earth and human centered education, community resilience building, earth stewardship, social justice, and rootedness in history and place.
